Ingredients


Crust


100g sugar-free digestive biscuits, crushed

50g unsalted butter, room temperature

1 tbsp Morlife Certified Organic Monk Fruit

 

Filling


500g soft cream cheese

2 tbsp Morlife Certified Organic Monk Fruit

2 tsp vanilla extract

Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

200ml double cream

 

Berry Compote


500g frozen mixed berries

1 tbsp Morlife Certified Organic Monk Fruit

3 tbsp water


Method

 

  1. In a medium sized bowl, mix the crust ingredients together. Place in a 20cm spring-form cake tin lined with baking paper and, using a spatula, firmly press the crumbs down evenly. Refrigerate until they set.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the cheese, monk fruit, vanilla extract, lemon juice & double cream and layer over the set biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula and leave to set (approx. 1 hour).
  3. Meanwhile, make the berry compote. Place the berries into a pan with the monk fruit and water. Bring to the boil and simmer. Allow to cool then pour on top of the set filling.  
  4. Serve.
